It was all about hats this weekend – wonderful, handknit creations for the Lands’ End/Warming Families charity drive – and there was a nice, fat pile each at Books and Company in Oconomowoc and at Next Chapter Bookshop in Mequon. I am so proud of the generous contributions from every knitter; we even had mittens in the collection this weekend. Another nice thing? Seeing many of the same faces from a previous visit to Mequon; this book tour is just like traveling around to meet old friends. Truly a joy. (I especially appreciate the large crowds because I know Sunday was a Packers game…)

In fact, everyone in Wisconsin is so welcoming! I met a wonderful group of knitters at the Lands’ End store at Sears in Madison Friday, including one dear woman who brought in bags and bags of hats she had made on her own. We truly had ourselves a knit-in. What fun! (As you can imagine, I have oodles of photos to put up from tour; below are a few snaps.)
